The Movement for Democratic Change led by Morgan Tsvangirai said it is appalled by the blatant yellow journalism and gross misinformation in the Herald of today (11/12/12) that the MDC-T National Executive met in Bindura at the weekend purportedly to clear internal problems over the role of principals in the Constitution making process.
MDC-T says no such meeting took place since its leader was in Kenya and it also says there are no internal problems within the party.
"For the record, no such meeting by the Executive took place in Bindura since the President was out of the country on a visit to Kenya on official business.
"Secondly there has never been any internal problem regarding the issue alluded to in the Herald to warrant an Executive meeting."
The MDC-T urged the Herald which is known to be sympathetic to Zanu-PF to verify its stories before publishing.
"The MDC-T implores the Zanu-PF mouthpiece, the Herald and its journalists, to verify their stories first before publishing. The unprofessional conduct as exuded by the Herald is certainly not consistent with ethics guiding the conduct of journalists and is therefore unacceptable."
"The good thing about the people of Zimbabwe is that they will never be swayed by Zanu-PF or their propaganda mouthpieces into believing their lies. Zimbabweans have soared way above petty politicking and have diverted their attention to the real issues of pushing for a new constitution to be nationally adopted," concluded the MDC-T.
